Plastic bags are typically made from polyethylene, a type of plastic polymer derived from fossil fuels. The production of plastic bags contributes to environmental issues such as resource depletion, pollution, and habitat destruction. Many countries are working to reduce the use of plastic bags and encourage more sustainable alternatives.
Generally, plastic bags are easier and less resource-intensive to produce than paper bags. Plastic bags can be mass-produced at a lower cost and require less energy and water during the manufacturing process compared to paper bags. However, plastic bags have a higher environmental impact due to their long degradation time and potential for pollution.
Plastic bags are typically manufactured from high density polypropylene (HDPE - plastic number 2) or low density polypropylene.
Remedial measures for plastic bag pollution include implementing bans or fees on plastic bags, promoting the use of reusable bags, implementing recycling programs specifically for plastic bags, and educating the public about the environmental impact of plastic bags. Efforts to reduce single-use plastics and promote sustainable alternatives are crucial in addressing plastic bag pollution.

Most reclosable zip bags are not leak proof, so while you could put shampoo and/or other liquids directly into one, it is not recommended without first putting the liquids into another type of container. However, if you did not want to use a separate container you could always use leak-proof reclosable bags.
